Nice run to start the 4th

[NASpurs]

:lol wow

[Mr. Body]

Pau has been a monster since that early ugly stint..:lol

Pau is really fucking good. He's just really fucking old.

[Arcadian]

Mills should go back to being a towel-waving specialist.

[NASpurs]

Pau is really fucking good. He's just really fucking old.

He's useful against teams' like the Grizzlies, teams with players like Al Jefferson, Drummond, Greg Monroe. But useless against the other 98% of teams.

[Raven]

Hate that help by Mills giving up a wide open 3.

[Chinook]

God damn it Green

Pop wasn't yelling at him there.

[Trainwreck2100]

[bbarry]

Spurs in last minute of almost every game :lmao:

[TheRemix]

Pop has been absolutely awful calling plays it of timeouts tonight. Everything looks rushed

[TheRemix]

LMA isnt clutch at all

[sasaint]

Touches. SMH!

Buuuuuuuut :cry Ma Touches :cry

[Robz4000]

Five game losing streak on the way

[TheRemix]

Our clutchest gay player isnt on the court?

[Arcadian]

That would've been a good time for Aldridge to pump fake and drive...

[Leetonidas]

Why TF is Rudy on the bench

[sasaint]

Put Gay in the game.

[SuperCam]

Scubobili and Fatty combine to go 4-19 :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Damn shitting away the record already with 2 losses. That changed quickly lol

[TheRemix]

Kyle in the game :lol

[bic50]

Why isn't gay in there?

[TheRemix]

52 million :lol

[Leetonidas]

:lmao mills is complete trash

[Snaq O'Meal]

Our clutchest gay player isnt on the court?

Poop was perhaps trying to prove that he can win games with clutch play calling instead of clutch players.

[sasaint]

Anderson in the game. No Danny or Rudy.

[FkLA]

50 million fat POS

Should've ran that for LDN.

[smaka]

The fuck was Pop thinking with benching Green for the last possession? I'm done with this shit.

Crap loss after taking control in fourth, let Pacers score 9 unanswered

[Raven]

we got a clean shot... too bad

[Chinook]

Pop outsmarted himself there.

[TheRemix]

Hurry back kawhi..

[SPURt]

Wow Pop really didn’t do his best work tonight.

[Trainwreck2100]

well he was wide open

[TimDunkem]

:lmao Mills AIRBALL

[NASpurs]

Patty's shot is just a symbolism of his year so far. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Damn, dropping 2 straight to non-playoff EC teams...smh

[Arcadian]

Anderson in the game. No Danny or Rudy.

Yeah, what the actual fuck? Gay and Green should always be closing, obviously.

[LakerHater]

Back to back losses!
2 Game losing streak!
... dam Patty!

[.G.]

$50M invested in this air ballin’ clown.

[raybies]

Airball on a wide open look. You got to be kidding me. WOW

[davi78239]

Loss on Danny throwing away the ball up two.

[Fireball]

there goes our good start into the season ... gonna be 4-4 soon ...

[$pursDynasty]

Buuuuuuuut :cry Ma Touches :cry
This loss aint on LMA not by a mile

[KDKSpurs24]

Pop... got us a good shot but put the wrong players in the damn game!!

[tbdog]

Perfect play call. Mills airballs it? WTF is wrong with him.

[daslicer]

I had a feeling the game was over when Oladipo hit that shot over LMA.

[Robz4000]

Spurs are going to get burned tomorrow in Boston

Spurs are gonna be well below .500 in a few weeks with the schedule really picking up.

[kaji157]

That last play is called «fuck you spurstalk»

[$pursDynasty]

Patty so crappy we should play White

[cjw]

Trade Patty as soon as the December date hits. He obviously stopped caring less about basketball than his instagram game. How do you airball that?

LMA still balling out there. Even closed out on that Oladipo shot. He needs help.

[LakerHater]

Needta look for a PG!
Patty is not a PG!

This. Patty's a good guy. Hope he comes out of it soon.

[raybies]

yeah I agree. That's just stupid. Green's turning the ball over to start the season is just not talked about enough. He had 5 last game.

[TimDunkem]

[Trainwreck2100]

Loss on Danny throwing away the ball up two.

that was a designed play and somebody wasn't in their spot

[Baam]

:pop: I will stand with Fatty until the end.

[NASpurs]

This loss aint on LMA not by a mile

That post wasn't even indicating that. :lol It was about relying on LMA instead of someone like Kawhi who would had hit that shot, guaranteed. It's how great one is and how great the other one thinks he is.

[SuperCam]

LMA still balling out there. Even closed out on that Oladipo shot. He needs help.

Trade Fatty? You'd have to attach a 1st rounder minimum to move that pile of rancid dog shit of a contract. It's probably one of the worst 5 in the league right now :lol

[raybies]

who was suppose to be there for that shot? Patty... missed that

[sasaint]

I had a feeling the game was over when Oladipo hit that shot over LMA.

Yep, crazy makes make for wins.

[sasaint]

Seemed like maybe Pau... Pop appeared to be yelling at him coming off the floor.

[Trainwreck2100]

who was suppose to be there for that shot? Patty... missed that

whoever pop was yelling at

[Robz4000]

Can't even enjoy the way the team plays this year either, just disgusting basketball.

[FkLA]

This. Patty's a good guy. Hope he comes out of it soon.

Paddy is a great guy. One of my all-time favorite off the court guys/good teammates. He cant just let himself go after getting a big contract and expect anyone to stand behind him though.

[objective]

It might take 2 forests and taking back a bad deal that lasts through next year to dump Mills.

There is no market for a backup zero playmaking no defense poor shooting fat six foot 2 guard.

His deal is like those other genius 12:01 contracts, Mozgov and Noah.

[TheGreatYacht]

Looked like Pop was yelling at Mills. You can see him be the first to sit on the bench.

[ECOV]

fuck it ,start playing white.

Pops fault for wanting him back. Did he learn nothing with BoBo and now his buddy is doing the same thing to the Spurs.

[vander]

Bench Mills play White

Pop closed the game with Mills (4-14) & Manure (0-6)

Live and die by that corporate knowledge even when players are passed their expiration dates and/or usefulness.

At least Kawhi will eventually be back to throw dirt over the shit and take the stench off a bit.

[sasaint]

Patty so crappy we should play White

Our PG situation is extremely tenuous. Even when Tony returns, it will be a question mark until we know whether Tony can come back from serious injury.

[TheGreatYacht]

Celtics and Warriors are coming up. This is a soon to be 3-4 team. Watch Kawhi come in, scoop all these dried up turds up, put him on his backpack, and get all the credit stolen by the media and on to Pop's ego.

[BillMc]

Wished we'd play Gay more. He was hustling hard.

[sasaint]

That post wasn't even indicating that. :lol It was about relying on LMA instead of someone like Kawhi who would had hit that shot, guaranteed. It's how great one is and how great the other one thinks he is.

Exactly.

[objective]

There's zero incentive to play Forbes over White. He already lost his spot to Paul, and needs to be behind White now.

Forbes doesn't have the defensive or playmaking potential that Simmons brought to the table to justify the opportunities he got.

He's on the last year of his contract. White has many years left of team control.

Forbes won't be getting his value up much for trade.

Pop should just give it up and go to White.

[Snaq O'Meal]

White may have 3 more seasons under team control than Forbes, but he's likely to be just as blocked from a path to the rotation in that timeframe, which is why he was a wasted pick.

Forbes hasn't shot it well, but he at least offers the possibility of quick strike offense, which is why Bertans and him should have a bigger role right now.

[Budkin]

That was an amazing choke!

[SAGirl]

Yeah, what the actual fuck? Gay and Green should always be closing, obviously.
It didn't matter. The play was for Patty. He got a clean look. Should he have been the one taking the shot? is the question, but Kyle delivered a pass right in his shooting hands and Pop's play worked to get him a good look.

[SAGirl]

50 million fat POS

Should've ran that for LDN.
This.

[Spurtacular]

LMA shitting his pants on the would-be game winner; no surprise there.

[daslicer]

The Warriors just lost to the Pistons so that atleast helps in the standings.

[Arcadian]

Hell no. He was ice cold all game :lol

Your point isn't necessarily true, though, because Green and Gay could have been decoys (or second/third options) on the play.

[Play Boban]

:cry

[sasaint]

That was an amazing choke!

Up by 8 at 82-74 I thought we would win by double figures. Terrible choke.

But Pop running a play for 50Mills to take the last shot is the real choke-job here.

[Spurtacular]

Hell no. He was ice cold all game :lol

Your point isn't necessarily true, though, because Green and Gay could have been decoys (or second/third options) on the play.

That was a semi-desperation play. We really needed LMA to catch the ball on the play before and not take the first p.o.s. shot he could heave. Dude's like 32 and the game still hasn't slowed down for him in the big moments yet.

I agree, Aldridge should have pump faked and drove to the basket.

However, also recall that he got robbed of a 3-point play previously when he was fouled and scored on continuation.

[sasaint]

I am not sure Touches knows how to pump fake and drive to the basket.

It's simple for me; I just don't want LMA in a position to make decisions or have to hit a clutch shot - ever.

[Ice009]

Pop closed the game with Mills (4-14) & Manure (0-6)

The senile fuck continues to do senile thangz n shit

Simmons was right to leave.

[raybies]

After rewatching the final play in the game, Kyle was put in to make the pass to Mills. I guess Pop didn't trust Danny to make the play or just wanted to give minutes in a situation to Kyle.

[Snaq O'Meal]

50Mills shouldn't even be on the floor. Not when there's this guy called Rudy Gay who's clutch as hell.

Poop totally fucked up. Not unlike a certain Game 6.

[r0drig0lac]

We could have Simmons, instead we have a dwarf kangaroo and an old soft spanish

Idk, I think he trusts Danny plenty, he's gotten that shot before. I think maybe it was to try and get Patty fired up a bit. Dude has been in a serious funk, and he hit a couple last night.

[SAGirl]

He was referring to Kyle being involved in that play as the passer to the shooter, as opposed to Danny being the passer to the shooter.

I think there is some confusion, bc some were arguing Danny should have taken that shot and not Mills. While another group was arguing Danny should have been in the game and Kyle out (which is pointless bc the play was for Mills--which is what me and raybies were saying)... Now, whether Danny should have been the one taking that shot... its actually a good debate.

Oh my bad.. yea Anderson usually gets that job anyway. He's taller and likely to make a better pass. Only other guy who maybe gets that job now might be Pau like TD used to, but KA is a very good choice.

Patty missed a great look. Would've been great for his confidence if it dropped, but it is what it is. Danny would've obviously been a good choice, and maybe a better 1 for last night.

[BillMc]

Sad thing is the Dubs are suddenly vulnerable but we're not taking advantage of it to get a lead in the standings. Oh, Kawhi, where art thou?

[bklynspursfan]

Yea was thinking the same. There was definitely a high probability of championship hangover/complacency, + teams going all out against them.

Hopefully we bounce back with a win tonight

good points. Plus it was a double door/elevator play. Pau and LMA were used as screeners. It was a good play called, well executed except for the missed shot. The pass was on point, the screens were well set. Patty lost his man adequately and the play was within the 3 seconds allowed. It was going to be a quick trigger shot anyways. He got a good look and missed it. Danny who has been shooting better would have been a better choise or ppl were saying Rudy Gay since he's a clutch player (but not a better 3 pt shooter than Danny or Patty).

I don't blame the entire game on that missed shot. There were plenty of mistakes and easier shots missed in the game. Patty has to get himself to play right. He's one of the worst rotation players right now.

Yea definitely don't blame it on that shot either. Started out very sloppy once again. I actually didn't like the play before that for LMA when he took that jump shot. Would've been happier with something closer to the basket. It just seemed rushed. Gay might've been a good choice here too because like you said he's not a 3 point threat, but usually a clutch dude.

The fact that they executed the last play is a good thing though. That sort of stuff gets overlooked because of the missed shot, but there are many teams who can't execute like that to get a guy wide open look.

[21209]

That was an amazing choke!

Not really. Even with the 9 point lead, I didn't think the game was in the bag. The Spurs offense was pitiful all afternoon and once the Pacers stopped turning the ball over, I knew they would score.

They're not better than the Spurs, but they definitely were in this game.

[21209]

Sad thing is the Dubs are suddenly vulnerable but we're not taking advantage of it to get a lead in the standings. Oh, Kawhi, where art thou?

Big difference that they're vulnerable now as opposed to six months from now when it matters.

[BillMc]

Big difference that they're vulnerable now as opposed to six months from now when it matters.

It's not different in terms of the standings which is what I was talking about. Early season wins and losses count the same as late ones. And we're not taking advantage because of injuries and other issues. Could hurt our seeding.
